Directions

From Sacramento via El Dorado Hills: This is the easiest approach. Take Hwy 50 East toward El Dorado Hills (West of Placerville). Exit at the El Dorado Hills Exit. At the light, turn right following El Dorado Hills Road North. This road will turn into Salmon Falls Road. Continue following Salmon Falls Road until you come to Enchanted April Farm at 5950 Salmon Falls Road. It will be on your left just after you pass Equestrian Way.

IMPORTANT: House numbers will go up and down along Salmon Falls Road as you pass through various towns so don't panic if you see that they do. Look for landmarks like "Equestrian Way" to locate the farm.

From Sacramento via Placerville: If you want to take the scenic route from Highway 50, take Highway 49 exit in Placerville north towards Auburn in the direction of Cool and Coloma. You will pass through the heart of the Gold Rush Country including the historic town of Coloma where gold was first discovered. A few miles past Coloma, take a left on Rattlesnake Bar Road. Then veer left onto Salmon Falls Road. Enchanted April Farm will be several miles ahead on your right.

From Interstate 80 via Auburn: Take the Highway 49 exit towards Placerville in Auburn (south-east). Enchanted April Farm is about 10 miles from Auburn. From Auburn, you’ll travel down into a deep canyon. Highway 49 turns right at the bridge. Go right across the bridge, following the signs to Cool. Continue on Highway 49 towards Placerville, passing Cool, until you see Rattlesnake Bar Road on your right. Make a right onto Rattlesnake Bar Road and then an immediate left onto Salmon Falls Road. Follow Salmon Falls Road for a few miles until you see 5950 on your right.

IMPORTANT DIRECTIONS FOR HORSE TRAILERS: You can use Interstate 80 from Auburn, but the road is not as easily accessible for horse trailers. This windy and steep road has an 8% grade at times. So gear down when coming from the I- 80/Auburn direction. If you take Highway 49, when approaching Enchanted April Farm from the north on Salmon Falls Road, please do not turn right into the driveway when you arrive. For safety’s sake, please CONTINUE DOWN THE ROAD about 300 yardsuntil you see a turn around at EQUESTRIAN WAY on your left. Once you turn around there you will have an easy and clear access into the farm's driveway. Once you get to Enchanted April Farm, access and turnaround at the farm is excellent, even for large rigs.
